Mondays are a rough slot too. I predict that if it doesn't do well they'll move Bones back to Mondays and push this to Fridays. Bones has a strong enough fanbase that it will do fine on Fridays. Plus I think Bones is gonna end soonish, if not this next season the one after.

The first episode wasn't terrible but I thought the second one was rubbish. I waited throughout the entire episode for the sad human cop and his very sensitive robot's first kiss but it never happened. I have to say, however, that when they looked so lovingly at each other it made me a little misty-eyed. I found the dialog and plot to be predictable and kind of boring. The cop should have stayed angry or something, I think. I was embarrassed for the lovey dovey robot. However, I do like the cars. When I saw the completely round one on the highway, I thought Number Six was going to pop out.

Watched the first episode and while I wasn't BLOWN AWAY ZOMG, it was a very solid episode especially for a pilot. The two main characters seem to have found their footing in their roles very early and the tech was well-done. The tech was also very understated which I love - the writers didn't feel the need to hit you over the head with technobabble explanations that will get lost on non-sci fi geeks quickly.

Ealy's got solid chemistry with most of the people he plays off of and Urban is Urban.

I like it so far.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Did not read the recent entries in this thread because I have not seen Monday's second episode, but it strikes me that the last season of Fringe looks like it was a test run for this show. I liked Urban in the pilot, but they need to slow the show down a bit and develop the characters. The thing that worked with Lost was that the entire 2 hour pilot was pretty much character development. They need that in his shows.

Fuck, FOX changed the premiere date so many times I forgot to record this. Oh well.

Fortunately, I had set a blanket series recording as soon as it showed up in the guide, so I got both of the first two episodes. It's good, so far, although I hope they do more with why the 'emotional' robots were discontinued.

Given some of dorians responses I am guessing at some point the emotional ones realize humans treat robots ad disposable slaves and rebelled or just said fuck you I won't work for "the man" any more.

First episode was promising. Second, not so much. I can see it getting kind of old though in that it seems to be just a standard cop procedural with some "reverse the polarities" technobabble thrown in to move from scene to scene. But if the cast has enough charisma I guess it could work. No one except Dorian and Gareth from the Office has made an impression on me yet though.

I just saw the pilot and I must say I was impressed; especially with the acting. Really, this show is just Cyberpunk2020 from the Cop's perspective; which would seem too niche at first glance, until you realize the possible directions they can go (assuming they channel neuromancer et. al).

It has a lot of potential, but it'll be predicated on the amount of world-building they're willing to do, e.g. not over-doing the cop-drama aspects. That being said, the show ended with me wondering "exactly why the heck we don't already have a Cyberpunk TV series."

Do you mean the one who was really inappropriately dressed for being a police officer? The one that the main dude who's name I can't remember offhand apparently likes? Also, why is the stereotypically socially inept science geek kept in what looks like a dungeon?
